heard it. sounds tired and dated right out of the box. i know he is dead and everything but this set of meh does not help bring him back to life. just reminds us his music career died long before he did

Really liking this. Expected to suck, but it's actually surprisingly good.

Enjoying: "Love never felt so good" (the one without JT but not the original)

"Slave to the rhythm"

"Blue Gangsta" (grew on me)

"Xscape"

Chicago is growing on me, as is Do you know where your ....

The singing on Blue Gangsta is amazing, but the trap kills it for me



No love for Loving You?

After some thought, this does seem like a tomb-raider to me.

If they had released JUST the original versions for free, then that would be sort of respectful.

But they felt the need to reproduce it for the modern age, with producers who MJ may not have wanted to work with, and sell it.

Of course you could just say that these producers were just paying tribute to Michael, in their own way - but then why sell it?

Its disrespectful enough to release stuff that was never meant to be released, but totally changing them along the way and making money off them is much worse.

yeah it's a weird one. there are exceptions - Elliott Smith's New Moon comes to mind. that was only minor tweaks, if any, to some really quality unreleased songs and that ended up a more than worthwhile release for fans. some of the Hendrix releases are decent.



alot of these songs are pretty average and it makes sense they were left off the albums. doesn't fill me with hope if there are more of these albums to possibly follow. if I was in control of it, I'd look for quality live recordings to release officially, or a comprehensive anthology type release for MJ geeks, similar to the Beatles ones, with alternate takes, the better B-sides, early demos etc.

I think any kind of posthumous album is considered disrespectful to some degree, no matter how much they've changed it, unless the deceased singer in question had given it the OK beforehand.

this is pretty good but having listened to the delux version i feel some songs atleast where a bit more groovie or MJ-ish than the finished ones, slave to the rythm comes to mind
